STOP SPECTER FROM BLOCKING BUSH'S JUDGES

Contact Senator Frist 202-224-3135

Tell them in no uncertain terms that Specter cannot be made Senate Judiciary Chairman

Do NOT take "no" for an answer!

I'm glad Specter's showing his stripe now. This will make it infinitely easier to extricate him from all meaningful proceedings in the nomination and confirmation of Bush's judicial nominees.

You're going down, RINO Specter.

I'm no fan of Specter, but that letter really looks like a hack job.

I am veeeeeeeery suspicious this is a hoax. It looks like a form letter ("Dear Friend") and there is no way even the most liberal Republican Senator would compose such a letter. It would have gotten out years ago.

Be very wary of this. I smell hoax.

To whom is it supposed to be addressed? Donors?

The early returns from PA showed Specter getting drubbed by his Rat opponent. Why couldn't the Rats have won the one race where it would have helped us?
